Quotes by Amanda Petrusich (?)

“On a good day, even writing can feel like a form of collecting—of gathering words, images, and ideas and arranging them in an order that feels right.”
― Amanda Petrusich, Do Not Sell at Any Price: The Wild, Obsessive Hunt for the World's Rarest 78rpm Records

“Even now, I'm not sure there's a way to accurately recount the experience without sounding dumb and hammy. I wanted to curl up inside the record; I wanted to inhabit it. Then I wanted it to inhabit me: I wanted to crack it into bits and use them as bones. I wanted it to keep playing forever, from somewhere deep inside my skull. This is how it often begins for collectors: with a feeling that music is suddenly opening up to you.”
― Amanda Petrusich, Do Not Sell at Any Price: The Wild, Obsessive Hunt for the World's Rarest 78rpm Records
